A Telus proposal to extend an existing cell tower in Golden is now in the hands of Industry Canada to approve.

The proposed extension (from 14.9 metres to 17.9 metres) is permitted for the C3 zone in the Town’s zoning bylaw, and the company com-

plied with all of Industry Canada’s public con-sultation requirements.

Town Council acknowledged this at the last meeting, now leaving it up to Industry Canada to put its stamp of approval on it, which Man-ager of Development Services Phil Armstrong says is almost a certainty.

“It’s pretty much a done deal now,” he said.Council did request that slats be installed in

the existing chainlink fencing and gate for the tower, located at 1101 11th Ave. S.

The extension was deemed necessary by Telus to improve service for their cell phone users in the area. According to Telus communica-tions representative Liz Sauve, the company has received a lot of requests for a stronger LTE net-work in the area.

This summer a wild pack of adventur-ous children ages six-12, under the care and leadership of two young yet experi-enced counselors, will be exploring the intrepid and exciting Golden wilderness.

Already in the ros-ter for their adven-tures is a day touring Kicking Horse Moun-tain Resort where they will be challenging T2 and interacting

with dangerous wild-life, dangerous wild-life being Boo the Bear. Their grueling extreme journey may also include learn-ing local tree identifi-cation and of course some catchy, fun hik-ing songs.

Their other adven-tures will include tak-ing on the treach-erous depths of the Golden community pool, and travelling to Reflection Lake to become bird watching experts.

You may also spot

these young commun-ity crusaders work-ing to freshen up the plywood animals on the Chamber of Com-merce fence as a com-munity beautification project.

Although it may just be a day camp, these youngsters will be learning introduc-tory skills on how to survive overnight in the forest. These skills include learning how to navigate, cook deli-cious meals, build a forest friendly shelter, and stay bear aware.

They may even become such out-door masters that they can afford the luxury of building nature musical instruments and forming a forest band!

If you are a six-12 year old or your child is and you are interested in having an adventur-ous summer, contact us at [email protected] or come visit us on July 1, 2, or 3 at #203 Patlar build-ing and catch the early bird registration from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.

We also have $100 subsidies available, contact us to apply. If you or your child is interested in spending more than only one week with us, don’t worry, our schedule and our trip location will be changing week to week.

At Wildsight Gold-en we thank Columbia Valley Credit Union for a generous $1,000 donation and our other sponsors includ-ing Shannon Hood with Sunlife Finan-cial, Louisiana Pacific, IGA, Fairley and Scott Barristers & Solici-tors, DJ’s Paper Place, Golden Dental Cen-tre, and Golden Com-munity Resource Soci-ety for helping make sure this summer gets a little… you guessed it…. wild!

What do I Have to Tell Police During a Tra� c Stop?What do you have to tell police when you are the subject of a tra� c stop? I’ve often

been asked about whether you have to answer the casual conversation at a road check that might include questions like Where are you coming from? Where are you going to? How much have you had to drink tonight? The answer is no, you don’t.

Occasionally I would stop a driver who had committed a tra� c violation that would roll down their driver’s window half an inch, poke their driver’s licence out and roll the window back up to await service of a ticket. There are a multitude of reasons for doing this, most innocent, but the � rst thing that had to come to my mind was that they were trying to hide something and it was my job to � nd out. It was usually the odour of liquor that the driver did not want wafted in my direction.

I did have one tool at my disposal to force a short conversation. A driver must state his name and address and the name and address of the vehicle’s registered owner when requested to do so by police. This is also useful for what is known as the Shriver’s Test. Case law has established that these answers, when compared to what is shown on the driver’s licence, strengthens the identi� cation of the driver if they match.

Answers to other questions are optional and it is up to you to decide whether you want to provide the information or not. If you choose not to, state your position politely and request that any documents be returned to you so that you may proceed once the o� cer has completed his or her inquiries.

HUGE THANK YOU

Continued from page 1“We want to make sure that we are providing the best service possible, especially for safety concerns,”

she said. “Sixty per cent of all 911 calls are made from cell phones, and we want to make sure that service is always available.”

In May, local resident Inge Clapperton appeared before council requesting that the Town not sup-port the proposal, and that it develop its own Communication Antenna Policy. Without one, compan-ies like Telus refer to the default policy set out by Industry Canada.

“If we have our own policy we can develop a consultation process that we’re more comfortable with,” said Armstrong. “That would probably include a bigger notification zone.”

With Industry Canada’s policy companies have to notify residents and businesses within three times the tower’s height. With the current proposal, that meant that less than a block received notification.

Council is scheduled to discuss the possibility of developing its own policy at the next council meet-ing. Most larger municipalities do have a policy, but Armstrong says it is less common among smaller ones.

Council will discuss creating own policy

As of July 31, the East Kootenay Brain Injury Association (EKBIA) will be no longer, the organization will be ceas-ing operations. That fact has left local outreach worker Deb Gudjonson deeply concerned about what the change will bring.

Gudjonson, however, was adamant that her concern did not come from her impending loss of employment, but rather, what the changes might mean for her current ros-ter of clients, which totals approximately 40.

A yet to be determined organization will take over Inter-ior Health’s contract for brain injury services in August, and the parameters of the new contract are what’s troub-ling Gudjonson.

Under the new contract, Golden and Revelstoke will be grouped together and allocated 648 direct service hours per year, which works out to 12 and a half hours per week. Direct service hours includes both face to face and tele-phone contact with clients and does not include travel time or planning and preparation time. The hours will be allocated between Golden and Revelstoke based on need.

According to Gudjonson, this falls well short of the ser-vice hours she currently provides, which she estimates to be in the area of 30 hours per week of direct service.

Her assessment conflicts with that of Lori Seeley, the

practice lead for community integrated health services with Interior Health.

“Generally speaking, nothing changes in terms of the service delivery to clients and what we’re actual-ly expecting is that services by and large are going to increase in terms of direct service hours across the East Kootenay area,” Seeley said.

According to Seeley, the number of total hours of dir-ect service across the East Kootenays will increase to 2,882 from 2,784. Seeley wasn’t able to supply the number of hours specific to Golden under the old contract.

Other indirect service hours, such as awareness, pre-vention and education work, work that was previously contracted to EKBIA, will be covered by Interior Health under the new contract.

“I’d like to reassure the clients in (Golden) that Interior Health feels very strongly that they have a very good plan to respond to the EKBIA’s decision to close their doors…we understand that that transition can be unsettling for clients and we will work to make sure that there’s no gap or delay from their service provision currently until the new provider is in place,” Seeley said.

Still, Gudjonson and her clients, who are equally con-cerned with what the future might hold for brain injury services in the region, remain concerned. One of Gudjon-son’s clients wrote in an e-mail that he was concerned what the services would look like beginning in August and what

he was supposed to do when he has “no EKBIA to keep me grounded, fed, advocated, sober and alive. I am disgusted, angered, and absolutely crushed.”

Gudjonson, whose current role includes meeting with both clients and their families in order to improve their situation, is concerned that clients such as this one might slip through the cracks and find themselves in trouble under the new contract.

“These people need constant support. We’ve built up a pretty good support group in Golden and Invermere,” Gudjonson said.

“I’ve got clients phoning me every day in tears...They’re in stress mode.”

It’s a concern that Kootenay-Columbia MLA Norm Mac-donald shares, and one that he says he has been involved with from the very beginning.

“Over the years we’ve established a long-standing rela-tionship with the clients, and actually with the provider as well, so we are concerned and we took immediate action to voice those concerns about any changes to service pro-visions…we’ve made it clear that we will not tolerate any decrease in front line services to those needing the servi-ces because of brain injury,” Macdonald said.

As of last week, Seeley said that contract bids remained under review and that a decision with regards to awarding the new contract would be announced in the next couple of weeks.

After years of planning, gaining support and fundraising, the champions of the Early Learning and Care Centre thought they finally had all the pieces in place a few short months ago. But what was described as a “tight budget” and “changes in the construction market” have left the Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG) under funded for the project.

Area A Director Karen Cathcart, who has also been a long-time supporter of the centre, appeared before Town Council requesting their support in contributing Economic Oppor-tunities Fund dollars (a fund that the Town and CSRD jointly control) to the project.

“I’m asking for $165,000 from the EOF for the construction of the Early Years Centre,” said Cathcart, adding that the CSRD board had already approved the request.

ELCSAG was celebrating earlier in the spring when they thought they had the final grant needed to complete the build-ing, which is to be an addition onto Alexander Park Elemen-tary. Unfortunately when the project went to tender, the lowest bid to come in was $280,000 over their budget.

They are currently making some cuts where they can, and are hoping the money from the EOF will be enough.

Council approved the money, which is essentially drain-ing the EOF leaving only a few thousand dollars left. It will, however, be replenished later in the summer with roughly $340,000.

They did not come to the decision lightly, as many were con-cerned that $165,000 still wouldn’t be enough to complete the project.

“I just don’t want to see this coming back to us in a couple of months,” said Coun. Caleb Moss.

ELCSAG had already received $80,000 in EOF funds earlier this year, bring the total to $245,000.

Early learning project needs more funds

Thanks to a significant donation by the estate of Annie Hammond, seniors at Henry M. Durand Manor residen-tial care home will have a larger, updated common space for gatherings and activities.

“I thank the late Annie Hammond and her executors for this generous donation, which will benefit seniors liv-ing at Durand Manor for years to come,” said Darryl Ple-cas, Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors. “The funding will help enhance the common areas for residents and reflects the manor’s resident-centred focus by provid-ing additional space for activities so they can enjoy their golden years.”

Durand Manor is an Interior Health owned and operat-ed care home with 26 residential care beds and two short stay beds. This project will include a new single story

building to replace the existing round room attached to the main building. After renovations, the new addi-tion will include a multi-use space for family meetings, resident and community client activities, and a hair/spa salon. Renovations will also improve access for Durand Manor residents to the secure outside garden area.

“The generosity of the late Annie Hammond and her executors is truly outstanding,” said IH Board Chair Erwin Malzer. “The renovations to Durand Manor will support the care we provide to seniors in the Golden area.”

Hammond, a longtime resident of Golden who passed away in 2002, stipulated that her donation be used to cre-ate or enhance residences of senior citizens in her com-munity. In consultation with her executors, Interior Health determined this important renovation for Dur-and Manor was a good project to honour Hammond’s contribution to local seniors.

The value of the original donation and accumulat-ed interest totals more than $691,000 and will cover the renovations and additional equipment for the new space.

“We are very excited to see these renovations to improve the common areas for our residents take place,” said Erica Phillips, Acute Health Services Administrator, East Kootenay. “Without the Hammond donation, these enhancements to Durand Manor would not be possible. Interior Health has awarded Thinkspace Architecture Planning Interior Design the contract to design the new space at Durand Manor.

The project is expected to be completed in the sum-mer of 2016. Interior Health is committed to promot-ing healthy lifestyles and providing a wide range of qual-ity healthcare services to more than 742,000 people liv-ing across B.C.’s vast interior.

The RCMP responded to 43 files last week, including 15 reports of erratic driving on the highways.

Break in at the Riverhouse

On June 20, RCMP received a report of a break and enter at the Riverhouse. The break-in happened sometime over-night.

An individual entered the pub through a window and stole what police called “a large sum of money.” Anyone with any information regarding this theft is asked to contact police.

Collision without insurance

On the morning of June 21,

police responded to a min-or collision at the junction of Highway 1 and Highway 95.

A driver was turning left to go westbound on Highway 1 and struck a car travelling east-bound.

Both drivers were unharmed in the accident. The driver that was turning left was uninsured and a violation ticket was issued.

False alarms at local businesses

On the afternoon of June 22, Police responded to an alarm from People’s Drug Mart. It was later determined that the alarm had been activated accidentally by an employee.

A night later, the alarm at Sig-nature Clothing was activated. This too was determined to be a false alarm.

Attempted theft

In the early hours of June 26, an intoxicated male attempted to break into a vehicle on the 900 block of 14th St. S. The male had outstanding warrants in Dawson Creek.

He was taken into police cus-tody and spent the night lodged in cells until he had sobered up. He was released with a promise to appear in court in Dawson Creek.

Loud party on 5th St. S.

A group of teenagers were asked to quiet down after their party created a disturbance on the night of June 26. The teens, who were supervised by adults in the house, complied with the request and turned their music down.

Pedestrian safety on highway

Editor,

Recently my daughter got a job on the strip. She is 13. Most of the time we drive her up and down to work but on occasion, and it hasn’t happened yet, we won’t be able to drive her up there and she will have to bike or walk. Just as a precaution, I decided we better bike up there togeth-er and figure out the best way to cross the multiple lanes of traffic. We biked up to the junction of the Trans Canada Highway and tried to find somewhere to cross the road safely - there were no safe areas for her, or anyone else, to cross the road. Yes there is a sidewalk but it’s a sidewalk that leads to nowhere; it just goes out onto the Trans Can-ada and ends.

After searching for somewhere that would be a suitable crossing area, we finally came up with the option of get-ting off her bike after the bridge and crossing two lanes of highway (rather than the four lanes where the sidewalk is) and bike or walk against the oncoming traffic. At least this way she could make her way to the traffic lights to cross over the four lanes of traffic. As we were doing this some-

one came around the corner to drive into Golden and cut the corner, narrowly missing us, as they looked over their shoulder to see if there was any vehicle they had to yield to turning left to drive into Golden from the Trans Canada. It didn’t really make me feel good about letting a 13 year old, or anyone for that matter, bike or walk up there.

Every time I have driven up to drop her off at work there is someone walking to or from Golden on the strip. It’s not just people walking or biking to and from work but there are residential areas up there as well. Some form of pedestrian crossing would be very much appreciated by the many people who need to get to and from the strip to Golden.

It’s really nice to see the beautification projects that are being implemented on the Trans Canada but should we not be more concerned about the safety of the citizens in Golden rather than the aesthetics of the area for the visitors passing through? Maybe something is in the works but to be honest I think that this is something that should be addressed sooner than later.

Jumbo

To the editor

On June 16, 2015, the B.C. Gov-ernment, by way of our Minis-ter of Environment, Mary Polak, announced that the Jumbo Glacier Resort (JGR) has not made a ‘sub-

stantial start.’ CBC re- announced that several times. The Jumbo Wild public is elated thinking Mary’s announcement means Jumbo will be wild forever. Yet the gov’t is only half of the equation.

Today I talked with my gov’t con-tact person in the Mountain Resort Branch of the Ministry of Forest,

Lands and Natural Resource Oper-ations. That office specifically han-dles the Master Development Agree-ment, which, when issued in 2010, allowed JGR to put a shovel in the ground and work toward their ‘sub-stantial start’ to be achieved by Oct. 12, 2014.

Continued on page 7

Every year I have to psych myself up a bit before heading into the graduation season. It’s a very busy and exciting time for the graduates and their families, and is also a busy time for the newspaper.

The graduation sup-plement in this week’s issue is one of the Gold-en Star’s largest of the year.

Some of the business owners in town are cer-tainly feeling it as well, as anyone who sells grad-related products or servi-ces were run off their feet.

I always enjoy the excitement in the air, but I have to admit, I dread the ceremony.

Graduation ceremonies are a major milestone in students’ lives, as well as their families’ lives. It’s a stepping stone to the next chapter of their jour-ney, and the fruition of all their hard work.

For a non-student, non-relative, however, they can drag on a little. In my time with the Golden Star, I have attended four graduation ceremonies for Golden Secondary School.

I never look forward to the notion of sitting in a hot building for two hours while students, most of whom I don’t know, accept their diplomas and bursaries. And with this past weekend’s heat wave I wasn’t expecting a particularly enjoyable even-ing.

I was pleasantly surprised.The entire evening moved smoothly, and quick-

ly. The speeches were quite entertaining, even for someone like myself who didn’t know the stu-dents and most of the staff.

It seemed very inclusive. There were loud cheers coming from the audience and the grads for every single student who crossed the stage. The list of bursary and scholarship winners was also very diverse, proving that there is a wide range of tal-ented students in this year’s graduating class.

The last line of the Valedictorian’s speech was “may we all meet again in ten years’ time.”

I was struck by how genuine it seemed, how much this group of young adults treasured their time together. High school reunions seem to be losing their relevance, and things like Facebook keep us all up to date on our former classmates’ lives.

But it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority of the grad class of 2015 really did make it back for their first of many high school reunions. I hope they do. The Valedictorian also said that the friend-ships that are forged in high school are some of the strongest you will ever have. He’s right, and it’s inspiring to see that this class recognizes it as well.

Congratulations to all the graduates of 2015 (and the family and friends who helped them get there).

A truck full of stars to the wonderful people who helped one of our residents and came to get me when she fell on the road. May you always find kindness wherever you go. Thanks! :)

Hard working stars to the Town for our new Ped Xing Park in front of Moon River. Special accolades to the Human

Big grinning stars to naked motorcyclists :)

A freight car full of sting-ers to the driver in a pickup truck who pulled out of the CPR entrance in front of me, causing a sudden stop by me. Then dawdling down the passing lane.

Stars to Jason and his crew for doing such an awesome job on our addition!

Do you think that the highway strip is a friendly place for pedestrians?

“Absolutely not. It’s tough to cross

that highway.”

“No. I walk there for work all the time. I just run when I see cars

coming.”

Continued from page 6The Resort Development Branch “had no forewarning about the announcement and were equal-

ly surprised. The announcement implies many things. All this will take some time to figure out. There is much interest in what happens next”, my contact said.

It is the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) which takes care of compliance, or in this case, non-compliance. I learned, “First the JGR people will meet with the EAO and then they’ll know bet-ter in which direction to head. It is possible that they’ll simply walk away.”

We do recall that when the recent avalanche report came in, the EAO offered a reprieve to JGR in order to move the foundations out of the non-compliance zone. Thus far there there has been no report that that they have accepted that offer. And, at the time when the EAO announced the non-compliance conclusion, Thomas Oberti (son of Oberto, in whose portfolio is the JGR) is quoted in the Calgary Herald as, “we knew we were putting the foundations in avalanche zones.”

So the plot thickens as the old saying goes.

Rowena Eloise Kootenay Coalition for Jumbo Wild

People in the communities I represent want to make decisions for themselves. People in this area do not want to have decisions imposed upon them and they are will-ing to stand and fight for that right.

While that willingness to take action is a big part of being a resident of the Kootenays, it is also critical to our democracy.

An example is the cancelation of the Environment-al Assessment Certificate for Jumbo Glacier Resort. Environment Minister Mary Polak concluded that after ten years, efforts made by the resort proponent were not significant enough to warrant the continuation of the certificate.

In many ways, this seemed like the only possible deci-sion the Minister could make. But after more than a dec-ade of decisions by the BC Liberals on this file that defied common sense or any possibility of good governance, the correct decision by the Minister of Environment came as a pleasant surprise.

I believe that this government, which has promoted this resort without any regard for the wishes of the local resi-dents nor any particular attachment to the realities of the situation, would not have reached this decision to cancel the certificate without the steady and ongoing work of cit-izens who fought to have the government respect First Nation’s interests and the will of the local people.

It is an excellent reminder that even when it takes a decade or more our willingness to fight for what is right can make a huge difference.

The people of the Kootenays fought effectively against the privatization of our rivers when dozens of our local rivers were slated for private river diversion projects. The BC Liberal plan to give away our rivers resulted in a mas-sive outcry in communities across the region.

The people of British Columbia fought effectively against the imposition of the Harmonized Sales Tax and we won the right to have a referendum on the tax. We went on to win that referendum against a well-funded pro-

HST group. The power of the people beat a government that misrepresented their intentions about the tax prior to an elec-tion, and then did everything they could to keep the people quiet.

Kootenay residents are not complacent. They are passion-ate about their beliefs and are willing to work hard for what they know is right.

And Kootenay residents demand that their political rep-resentatives stand with them on these issues. Over the last 10 years, you have set the agen-da for the work I do, and it is truly satisfying to see the results we can achieve when we stand together to make the right thing happen.

You can achieve great things when you stand for what’s right

Five piece band out of Nelson playing Summer Kicks show Golden Star [email protected]

Sofiella Watt is an independent folkstress from the east coast of Australia, who comfortably labels herself as a self taught guitarist, banjo plucker, songwriter, bread baker, vagrant and washboard enthusiast.

She met her musical match in Jimmy Maher and Sofiella Watt and Huckleberry Jim was born. The pair embarked on an extensive tour of Aus-tralia where they performed in backyards, bars, lounge rooms and rooftops.

After a move to Nelson, the pair were joined by Lee Campese on drums, David Reid on mandolin and Hunter Stanway on upright bass, creating the current lineup for Sofiella Watt and the Huckle-berry Bandits.

Billing themselves as a five piece that is “sure to get the house jumping’ with their down home brand of folka-billy blues”, the group will take to the Summer Kicks stage on July 8 along with popu-lar local jazz group, the Parson Jazz Cooperative, who will supply the in between act.

The free show will begin at 7 p.m. Sofiella Watt and the Huckleberry Bandits, a five piece folka-billy blues group out of Nelson will headline the July 8 Summer Kicks show in Spirit Square. Photo Submitted

The Net Result: Supremacy a rather inferior thriller


Supremacy offers a timely look at race issues in the United States, given the recent events in Charleston, South Carolina, but unfortunately it supplies woefully little in the way of legitimate substance, preferring to supply cheap thrills across a relative-ly thin plot.

The film, directed by Dean Taylor, is based on true events and chron-icles the story of Garrett Tully (played by Joe Anderson), a neo-Nazi who is released from prison at the movie’s outset. Garrett’s girlfriend Doreen (Dawn Olivieri), a drug abusing mother of one, picks Tully up from prison and the two find trouble almost instantly. The pair get pulled over by a black police officer and the situation escalates in a hurry, with Garrett shooting the officer multiple times before fleeing the scene.

Their attempts to evade capture take them to the rural residence of the Walkers, a six-person family that includes a pair of young children, one an infant.

Garrett and Doreen hold the family hostage as they attempt to figure out their next steps in what becomes an increasingly desperate situation.

Naturally, Garrett’s racism gets the best of him and he continues to act in a vicious, unthinking manner while attempting to keep both the situa-

tion and Doreen under control. On the positive side, Supremacy is

well acted, with both Andersen and Olivieiri delivering believable per-formances as the villains and Danny Glover as his usual, steady self in a role as the Walker patriarch. The rest of the Walker family also contributes genuine performances that appear befitting of the situation.

The problem with Supremacy is that it arrives at the movie’s end game far too quickly. The initial murder, fol-lowed by the setup of the hostage situ-ation, all take place within the film’s first 20 minutes. From there, it’s a lengthy, 80 minute slog to the fin-ish line with an ending that is pre-dictable and rather bland. The film does employ the occasional flash-back, but I can’t say many of them were done with great effect and it fails in its attempts to fully flesh out the main characters. There’s also lit-tle character background given for the Walkers, with only bits and pieces revealed throughout the movie, mak-ing it difficult to truly care about their respective fates. Supremacy is worth a look if you’re

in the mood for a somewhat intense crime story with some solid acting performances. Otherwise, stay away. Supremacy is worthy of just 5 mouse

clicks out of 10.

Richard Seward has seen mountain bik-ing in Golden explode since he first took up the sport in the 1980s, and his involvement has been a key com-ponent of the sport’s development on a local level.

When Seward bought his first bike, mountain biking in Golden, and in Canada as a whole, was still in its infancy.

“There was a core group of maybe a doz-en or so people in town riding,” Seward recalled.

Later, then Recrea-tion Officer, Jon Wils-gard, opened up the Moonraker trails and it become the go-to area for cross country rid-

ing. However, the grow-

ing number of cycling enthusiasts eventually outgrew the available trails in the area, and it became clear that more development was needed.

Seward joined the Cycling Club in 2008. The president at the time, Andy Bostock, gave him a call and asked him to become the director for the Moonraker trail net-work.

“I said I would. I thought I saw some opportunities there for improving the system,” Seward said.

Initially, Seward focused on mainten-ance issues and fixing up some of the exist-ing trails, but he soon developed bigger plans.

“It occurred to me that what we needed to do was link those trails to the town, so I start-ed planning for the eventual construction of the CBT mainline trail,” Seward said.

Building the CBT mainline was no small task for a crew that had little in the way of trail building experience.

“We really had no experience running a trail crew or build-ing a new trail or any-thing like that…it all worked out well. I put the call out for a trail crew and we had a real-ly good response,” Sew-ard said.

“I didn’t realize how successful we were until I noticed how many people were using the trail.”

Seward noticed that many people were rid-ing the CBT trail as a standalone trail, rath-er than as simply a con-nector to the Moon-raker network, lead-ing to the development of off-shoot trails that turned CBT into its own trail network.

The CBT Mainline trail opened in 2010, with off-shoots Old Age, Treachery and Take it Easy opening the following year.

Seward says he is in the process of taking a step back from his

time-consuming role with the Cycling Club, although it has been a slow move to the back-ground.

“I really enjoy the whole volunteer thing,” Seward said.

It isn’t just trail development and maintenance that keeps him busy with the club. Seward is also heavily involved in

writing funding appli-cations, a job he has filled for the past five years.

Always humble, Sew-ard is quick to give credit to the other board members of the Cycling Club, specif-ically naming Chad Gennings and War-ren Chambers as huge contributors to the CBT Mainline net-

work. For Seward, as well as

the rest of the dedicat-ed team at the Golden Cycling Club, volun-teering can be a richly rewarding experience that’s best exemplified by one gentleman.

“It was last year, I actually had some-body from out of town chase me down as I was going down the

trail,” Seward said. “He must have chased me for about 10 minutes, just to thank me…the people he was rid-ing with mentioned to him that I was the per-son responsible (for the trails). I get these occasional things hap-pening and you know that what you’re doing is having a real positive effect.”

After a year of putting in hours, Brent Desruisseaux has been sworn in as Golden’s new-est lawyer.

Desruisseaux didn’t realize at the beginning of his road towards a law career that it would bring him here, but he’s certainly glad that it did.

“There’s not many places where you can be in court in the morning, and ripping down White Wall in the afternoon,” he said. “None of my law school friends can say that.”

Originally obtaining a degree in philosophy, he soon realized that he needed to find a more “employable” profession.

“Law seemed like a really nat-ural next step.”

Like so many people who find themselves staying in Golden, Desruisseaux came for a job right after law school.

“I had been on a roadtrip

through the Kootenay area, and I kind of fell in love with the mountain culture,” said the Alberta native. “So I thought this would be a good fit for me.”

He started with Ewan and McKenzie Law Office last August, and has settled into the community as well. Not only is he enjoying the active lifestyle that Golden has to offer, including downhill ski-ing and mountain biking, Des-ruisseaux also finds that prac-tising law in a small town like this gives him a stronger con-nection to the community than it would if he were work-ing in a city.

“It’s definitely nice being able to work with real people,” said Desruisseaux, noting that many of his former classmates simply have corporations as clients.

“I’m very fortunate, the com-munity has been very welcom-ing. And I couldn’t ask for bet-ter mentors in Glen (Ewan) and Bruce (McKenzie).”

Kicking Horse Gymnas-tics Club (KHGC) is losing a valued Club member this year. Jasmine Wan is graduat-ing from Golden Secondary School and will be heading off to the University of British Columbia Okanagan to begin studies that will lead toward becoming a physiotherapist.

Jasmine began her involve-ment with KHGC as a par-ticipant in a summer camp in 2009. In the Fall Session she began participating in an advanced group that com-peted at the Interclub Level (a beginner competitive group).

She quickly progressed along with her teammates to advance into the Provincial System, so much so that she qualified to compete at the BC Artistic Gymnastics Cham-pionships in 2012 and again in 2014.

Jasmine also became a C-I-T (Coach-In-Training) when she was 14 and at 15 she was able to begin taking her National Coaching Certifi-cation Programs to become

a fully certified Level 1 Gym-nastics Coach. She has been coaching ever since, help-ing to provide awesome after-school gymnastics program-ming along with the staff team at KHGC.

Jasmine added being a judge to her portfolio, as she judged at the most recent competition in the zone, the

Coconut Cup May 30-31. She is a qualified Junior Olym-pic Level 1-5 Judge. The ath-letes competing from Golden that weekend had great pride that one of their coaches was a judge.

KHGC is excited for Jas-mine’s future! We appreciate all she has given to our gym-nastics community.

INSTEAD OF A BOTTLE…Sing your baby to sleep with a sweet lullaby to avoid tooth decay, which dentists say is an epidemic in infants! Decay occurs when sweet liquids like milk and juice cling to teeth for long periods, explains pediatric dentist Stephen Mitchell, D.M.D. To prevent it, wipe baby’s gums with a gauze pad or wash cloth after each feeding, start to brush as soon as the first tooth erupts and never let him/her fall asleep with a bottle.

Brighter solutions to meet your goals

Life’s brighter under the sun

Anne Levy-WardBrighterlife.ca

Along with hockey and politeness, universal health care is often said to define us as Canadians. But there’s a good chance you don’t have as much protection against health costs as you think you do — or as you really need.

A substantial number of Canadians surveyed in the 2013 Sun Life Canadian Health Index believed they wouldn’t need to pay anything at all for medical costs such as physiotherapy, living in a nursing or retirement home, or prescription drugs. The fact is, however, that provincial health plans are mandated by the Canada Health Act to cover only “medically necessary” services such as those provided in a hospital. Various provinces have expanded the scope of their plans to cover expenses such as prescription drugs or eye exams, but usually only for certain segments of the popu-lation, such as seniors, children or the indigent. That leaves a range of health or health-related expenses uncovered for most of us.

If you have benefits at work, you may think that will take care of the gaps left by your provincial plan. A closer review of your employee benefits, however, may reveal only partial coverage — or, in some basic-level plans, no coverage at all — for the cost of things like eyeglasses, orthodontia or laser eye surgery. These and other restrictions and lim-itations — deductibles, co-payments, annual and lifetime maximums — may leave you significantly out of pocket for health care expenses for yourself

and your family.And what of your medical expenses after you

retire? Most Canadians don’t have a company pension; if you do have one, the odds are increas-ing that it won’t include medical benefits. For retirees, this looms as a pressing financial con-cern. The 2014 Sun Life Canadian Health Index found that two-thirds of Canadians are worried about their health deteriorating as they age, but only one-fifth had saved money or otherwise planned financially to deal with the cost of poor health.

Types of health insuranceHealth insurance in its various forms can help

address these gaps. Personal health insurance covers medical and dental expenses not covered by your provincial plan. Critical illness insur-ance pays you a sum of money to use as you wish if you’re diagnosed with a serious health issue that’s covered by your policy (provided the waiting per-iod required by your policy has passed). Long-term care insurance covers health care costs over an extended period of time. Your expenses will be reimbursed or you will receive an income bene-fit during the period you require care. Disability insurance pays you a percentage of your salary if you are under age 65 and can’t continue work-ing due to an injury or illness. Travel insurance is another form of health care coverage, protecting you against medical costs when you are travelling to another province or another country.

This column is sponsored by Shannon Hood with Sunlife Financial.

Do you have enough health insurance?

My eyes welled up with tears when I saw the “For Sale” sign posted at Wixon House. This amazing little heritage home was bequeathed to the Town of Golden by Ruth Wixon, who rec-ognized its value as a heritage building. She was sure, based on con-versations with the pol-

iticians of the day that the home would be gratefully accepted and honoured, which it was. A bylaw was cre-ated to protect it and Ruth was content in the knowledge that her home would be cared for.

A new council saw the matter differently, making the decision to divest themselves of the property. A sad day indeed! My eyes welled up but I’m sure that Ruth hasn’t quit crying from heaven. I’m sure she would have made different arrange-ments had she known that her contract with the Town would not be honoured.

The last member of a pioneer family, Ruth

Wixon passed away in the early morning of November 14, 2007 at age 91.

Ruth’s father, Arthur George Wixon was born in Christmas Common, Watling-ton, Oxfordshire, Eng-land in 1871. He was educated at Cookley School near Henley on the Thames, then went on to Cudston Col-lege for a while, but he preferred working in large gardens.

In 1896 he came to Canada, arriving in Manitoba where he remained for a year before coming to this area. He worked in Donald helping to move some of the buildings to Gold-en. To his credit he worked with survey-or James Brady on the survey of Wilmer, B.C. For eight years he worked as an engin-eer on the riverboats “Duchess” and “Musk-rat” as well as the gov-ernment dredge. He also worked as a lum-ber shipper and a grader for the CRL.

He was very active in the commun-

ity. A member of the I.O.O.F. for 61 years, having joined while still in England.

On June 1, 1912 he married Mabel Daw-son, a young woman born in Oxford Eng-land who had only arrived three days before. Mabel had worked for one of Britian’s famous eye surgeons, Sir John Tweedie.

In 1913, a son, Joseph, was born to the couple. Unfortu-nately Joseph passed away just four days after his birth. Daugh-ter Ruth was to follow in 1916 and was an only child.

Mabel was an ardent garden and seam-stress. She spent the biggest part of her life caring for others in her own humble way. She was always willing to lend a hand. She was an honourary member of the Golden & Dis-trict Historical Society, a Noble Grand of the Yoho Rebecca Lodge, a member of the Sen-ior Citizens Society and many others.

Ruth grew up in the house that her fath-er gave her moth-er as a wedding gift in 1912 and she loved it so much that she was determined to pre-serve its history by maintaining the house as it was when she was

a girl. She went to school

in Golden until she was about 16 years old when she went to work to help the family, as the Depression was hard on everyone and her father was hav-ing difficulty finding work. They took in laundry and did lots of other odd jobs to make ends meet.

Ruth went to work at the hospital and many of today’s popu-lation who are in their 50s and 60s can thank her for their safe arriv-al into the world. She loved to help people and cared for people in and out of the hospi-tal as her mother had.

She also worked as one of Golden’s first telephone operators, back when everyone was on one line and you had to listen to the short and long rings. If you were two shorts and three longs, that was how many times it rang it was for you. Ruth’s career as an operator came to an end when the system in Golden became automated.

She did so many things in the commun-ity. One of the things that she did that she enjoyed the most was to help new Chinese immigrants learn Eng-lish.

She took great pride

in her garden and used her abundant harvest to help people in need. She enjoyed travelling and drove her own car until her poor eyesight caused her to stop and then she was fortun-ate to have friends who would take her out.

Ruth was never mar-ried but not for lack of trying, she was engaged twice. Once to a young fellow named Fred and once to a fellow named Gab-riel. With Fred she spent many hours fly fishing at the Black Water lakes.

Ruth will be forever missed by her many family and friends in and around Golden.

Many have won-dered and feared the coming judgment, which is referred to more than 1,000 times in the Bible. Every-one who has ever lived and has accepted the “woman’s Seed” (Gen-esis 3:15) [Jesus Christ] as his/her Saviour should have no fears or worries.

Daniel gives us an insight into that judg-ment:

“I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One [God the Father] sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, His hair like whitest wool.” (Daniel 7:9)

The judgment is set,

and God the Father sits down to judge.

“He sits on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire, and a river of fire flowed from His presence.” (Daniel 7:9, 10)

Daniel describes the throne but it is evident that he is lost for words to describe the glory of the throne, and he reports the number of angels attending the judgment as innumer-able!

“Millions of angels ministered to Him, and a hundred million stood to attend Him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened.” (Daniel 7:10)

Everyone is going to be judged by what is written in those books. There are dif-ferent books men-tioned in the Bible so that all can have a clear understanding of how all are going to be judged. The standard, by which all are going to be judged are the Ten Commandments — according to James 2:8-13.

The Bible refers to the “Book of Life,” — that is where we all need to have our names written. “A Book of Remem-brance.” A “Book of Iniquity,” — all our sins are recorded there. And a “Book of the

Peoples.” Both Solo-mon — the wisest man who ever lived other than Jesus — and Mat-thew wrote that every thought is judged. And Paul wrote that there is nothing hidden from God and everyone will be judged accordingly.

Then Daniel saw “Someone who looked like the Son of Man [Jesus Christ] coming with the clouds of heav-en. He approached the Ancient One and was led into His presence. He was given author-ity, honor, and roy-al power over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language might serve Him.” (Daniel 7:13, 14)

Jesus, at the judg-ment, is introduced as coming into God’s presence and “His dominion is an ever-lasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.” (Daniel

7:14) “The Ancient One

came and judged in favor of the ‘holy people’ of the Most High.” (Daniel 7:22)

So, before Jesus returns, the judgment sits and Jesus defends everyone who has ever lived according to His standards, even if they never knew Him but He knew them, — and they’re called “holy people”. Everyone is judged and a decision is made in heaven to determine who will be taken to heaven when Jesus returns to earth — called His Second Coming.

Local athlete Simram Dhami pleased after successful rookie year with SAIT Trojans

Golden Secondary alum Simram Dhami built a close bond with her teammates over the course of her rookie year with the SAIT Trojans. Her season was capped by a measure of individual success, as she was named the team’s rookie of the year. Photo Submitted


Simram Dhami didn’t think she’d end up play-ing volleyball at the post-secondary level, but after a successful first year with the SAIT Trojans, which included being named the team’s rookie of the year, it’s safe to say volleyball has become her top athletic priority.

Originally a basketball player, volleyball became her sport of choice after she began playing in high school for the Golden Secondary School Eagles.

“I started in Grade 8, just kind of playing it for fun, for something to do before basketball season. I always pictured myself playing basketball,” she explained.

“(In Grade 10) I moved up to senior and start-ed playing for (senior coaches) Krista (Fouillard) and (Ron) Ainsley, and that’s really when I had second thoughts about volleyball. Up until then I was always basketball, basketball, basketball.

“After Grade 10 I started focusing a lot more on volleyball…(Later) Ainsley started talking to me about plaiying after high school. He’s an amazing coach. That just helped me out so much.”

In addition to her contributions with GSS, Dhami joined club teams as her skill level con-tinued to improve, playing in Invermere in Grade 11 and Cranbrook in Grade 12, winning a second tier gold medal in the latter season.

“That’s when the (post-secondary) coaches could come and watch me and that’s when SAIT contacted me,” she said.

Being a student-athlete is not an easy task, espe-cially considering all the adjustments Dhami had to make academically as she moved from high school to SAIT in the fall of 2014. Her success in her first year is a testament to her dedication both on the volleyball court and in the classroom, although she admits it wasn’t always easy.

“It was hard at the beginning, I’m not going to lie…I didn’t know anyone when I first moved and I was away from home for the first time and school was piling up and volleyball was stressing me out,” she recalled.

“Once I got to know my teammates better, you kind of work it out with them…You do kind of have to balance it out with (academics).”

Over time, Dhami’s improving skills led to an increasingly significant role for her on the volley-ball court, eventually taking on responsibilities that are normally out of reach for first year players.

By the end of the season, she was regularly one of the first players off the bench.

While her above average height might seem like an advantage - Dhami is listed at 5’9” - she’s actual-ly undersized for women’s volleyball, especially at her position in the middle, where some of her opponents measure well above six feet.

“I feel tall when I come to Golden…and then I went to SAIT and I’m probably one of the shortest middles in the league,” Dhami said.

“That makes it hard sometimes…I focus a lot on my jumping and my jump training in the gym.”

As a middle, Dhami is responsible for blocking back enemy attacks and establishing a strong pres-ence at the net, while also supplying the occasion-al hit.

And while this is the offseason, that won’t neces-sarily mean that Dhami will be able to take the sum-mer off. She’s been told by her coach to get strong-er and will have to remain in top physical condition ahead of the start of the volleyball season, which is a long, gruelling grind from late August to March.

Going into her second year, it will be with a differ-ent attitude that Dhami will take the court this fall, having already established herself as a presence on the Trojans and been told by her coach that she’ll be a starter right off the hop in 2015/2016.

“It was pretty surreal to win rookie of the year. It boosted my confidence for next year,” Dhami said.

“Volleyball’s a half-mental game. If you’re down on yourself and you don’t have confidence, you’re not going to play well.”

Rockets coach Jason Stephens pleased with summer camp


It might seem like hockey season is still eons away but in just a few short months the Golden Rockets will be hitting the ice for the 2015/16 season and the team, and its new head coach Jason Stephens, have already begun preparing.

Stephens got a first, good look at some Rockets vet-erans, as well as some fresh faces, over the course of a

three-day spring camp in Cochrane from June 12-14 that included 35 skaters and eight goalies.

“It was a real mix of players but it was actually a really good camp. It was really competitive,” Stephens said.

Among those participating were several Rockets veterans, including forwards Braeden Allkins, Cole Mckechney, Travis Kelley, Zack Finlay, Ian Desrosier, Tanner Witt and Riley Barnes, defencemen Nic Nose-worthy and Sean Ripley and goaltender Mark Becica.

While many of the returning guys participated in

just a single day of the three day camp, Stephens said it was helpful for him to get a look at some of the poten-tial veterans that he’ll have at his disposal come this fall.

“I think the returning guys were everything I would hope they would be as a coach and…probably right at the standard of what I’m looking for with players,” Ste-phens said.

“I was quite happy to see what we’ve got coming back for sure.”

Stephens was also encouraged by the response he has received from many of the team’s veteran leaders, with the group sharing his goals for the future of the organization.

“Players are quite excited about some of the changes that we’ve brought in and some of the things that we are looking to do moving forward,” he said.

Also in attendance were a pair of young players that are familiar to the organization. Both Brendan Sime-Vivian and Jake Gudjonson, affiliated players in 14/15, made good first impressions with Stephens.

“Jake did real well, I like seeing him on the ice. I think he’s got good speed, he’s got a good mind for the game. There’s some question marks that I have for him but definitely bring him back to main camp…you could see he has some definite upside potential,” Ste-phens said.

“(Sime-Vivian) sort of came into his own by the time Sunday came around…he’s another guy that definite-ly caught my attention.”

As far as the Rockets’ lineup goes for next season, it’s still too early to know exactly how that will look, such is the reality for teams in Junior B with most play-ers going through tryouts at the Junior A level before committing to KIJHL teams. The Rockets will recon-vene in late August for their main training camp, with the exhibition season to follow in early September.

The Rockets held their offseason camp from June 12-14, which included a mix of returning play-ers and new recruits. Photo Submitted
